Real Culprit in rape cases

Who is the real culprit in increasing rape cases across India?

I just came back from hectic official trip of Chennai and Pondicherry. On the airport, happened to meet four gentlemenWe all had ample time as Air India flights are always delayed. I asked if Air India has any another flight for me, answer given was flight is only 1 hours and 15 minutes delayed. Anyways, these four people, one is from Mumbai, second is from Rajasthan and other two others from Kerala. They all work in Mumbai for multinational companies. Over coffee, we happened to discuss the recent forgetable Delhi rape incident. For confidential purposes, not disclosing names and companies of our four friends.

Here is the summary of conversation:

1. Strangely all were of the opinion that girl was at fault too. She should not have stepped out during late hours in country like India irrespective of a particular city.

2. Indian society is backward and still girls are not given equal status. They acknowledged education, old mind set and unequal money distribution playing major roles.

3. All agreed that women are not safe in any part of India. Though they felt Mumbai is better despite most corrupt police system in the country. They ranked Bangalore as best city to live in India.

4. Rapists according of them have done extremely bad act and should be hanged till death. Congress government which has been ruling India majorly in last 60 years is also main culprit for such divided society.

5. Laws are present in India but police is only interested in money and not protecting such laws.



I do not agree to few statements. Girl was not at fault at all, everyone has right to roam freely. We need laws that do not accept such incidences at all, rapists should be hanged till death and most importantly implementation of them. We as society need to rise, codemn people since beginning and not let such shameful events happen in India.
